So, that will be it for this pulsating game in ECS France, 2024! We will be back with the next one in around 15 minutes, so do switch tabs and get ready for that one. This is the pair of Soumarya and Bidipto taking your leave. Keep following Sportskeeda!
What an amazing innings of T10 cricket! What a thrill-a-minute ride in ECS France! And above all, what a result! Balbyniens have upstaged the best team in the country, Dreux, even when as many as 27 runs were required to win off the last 6 balls! And to think that 164 runs was the target!
Balbyniens hardly wasted a delivery to be honest! They kept the pressure on the mighty Dreux and made their bowlers wilt under pressure. Dreux obviously came back with some top deliveries every single time, but the unavailability of Wahid Abdul for his second over due to injury cost them big time!
Saijeevan Kumaran, Mohammad Barakzai, Sheyam Warnakulasuriya and captain KG Vithu scored 69 crucial runs off only 23 deliveries to seal the deal for them, when very few gave Balbyniens the chance!
None of the Dreux bowlers were able to go at less than 11 RPO and 14 extra runs were given away too!
On the whole, a quite incredible match and an incredible result! Balbyniens now have 14 points to their name while Dreux suffer their first defeat of the competition!
Balbyniens win! Balbyniens win and upset Dreux! The celebrations can begin! What an incredible performance this has been!
